        Sure it is some combination, but what is the PRIMARY reason Ivy League acceptance rates have been halved, versus a generation prior? A] twice the # of unqualified applicants per equal standards B] twice the # of qualified applicants per equal standards

        Worth asking what causes the halving of the acceptance rate at all top schools, in a generation. Which is likely? A] all students suddenly applying to 3x the number of schools B] 10x the number of Chinese, other foreign, & 'alternative' candidates now applying C] both D] neither

        Harvard graduates believe they are aristocracy and rest of us are peasants, then the nobles go into politics and F--- everything up.

        Great job focusing on the colleges that are out of reach for so many? What about a story on community colleges?

        Frankly...they deserve to be selective! Being accepted to Harvard starts with your parents prior to Kinder! If your folks can shell out $25k-$45k annually for the best elementary schools and you sit and study your whole childhood instead of playing with friends, it can be yours!

        Now imagine the admission officer who receives a pile of 100 applications, goes through them all, and selects four or five top candidates — one of them is Malia Obama who’s just taken a gap year to intern at the Weinstein Company, travel with parents & have fun at Lollapalooza.

        You kinda buried the lede here. Stop playing their acceptance rate game. It’s all about increasing number of applicants spreading their bets

        Online courses have innovated to such excellence that its model is worth Universities emulation & jealousy In fact the MOOC's may be surrogate patrons of university education & also really agile in keeping courses industry relevent
